    Ok so pulled my diffs down, cleaned and added diff oil. Just a question with diff reassembled when rotating out cups it feels very segmented, diff turns ok but you can feel each slot as the gears mesh. Is this normal?

    How to tune a Savage xl 5.9 Engine

    Checkout engine sealing thread and then try a tune, I think the biggest problem is the carby especially that mid range needle which isn't a needle it's the seat for the low range needle. if you have no air leaks in your engine, carby or fuel line go back to factory settings get your truck warm...

    Big Air Savage XL K5.9
